I was going to post a Christmas craft for y’all today, but I decided to hang on to that until next week and give you this awesome pork recipe instead. It’s basically 15 minutes of hands on time, and the rest of the time you can spend drinking with your pork (or your dinner guests,… Continue Reading

There’s stuffed peppers, and then there’s STUFFED PEPPERS. These, my friends, are STUFFED PEPPERS. They are so, so, so good. I wouldn’t rank this on the health scale (I don’t think you are going to drop from a heart attack eating it, but sausage isn’t necessarily “healthy”), I rank this on the delicious scale. It’s… Continue Reading

Two weeks from today we’ll be homeowners. It still seems a bit unreal, but I’ll be glad to be done with the constant emails and phone calls with the bank, the realtor, the insurance company, the utility companies, and the moving company to get everything set up. Seriously, it feels like a second full-time job… Continue Reading

Easy. It’s seriously all I can handle these days. This dish is about as easy as it gets. I’m almost embarrassed to type up the steps, because there are three. Total. But I’ll type them up even though you could probably figure out what I did just based on the pictures. Season a boneless pork… Continue Reading

Six pounds of pork shoulder yields a lot of lemongrass pork. Luckily, it’s easy to transform the pork into a delicious noodle bowl with Vietnamese inspired ingredients. It also doubled as a pantry clean out recipe since I was able to get Asian noodles and carrots out of the fridge as well as some peanuts… Continue Reading

The one item I most dreaded having to come up with a use for during the pantry clean-out challenge was the giant six pound pork butt hanging out in my freezer. I bought it last time pork butt was on sale in hopes of eventually using it for my slow cooker pulled pork, but considering… Continue Reading

After the success of “The Chicken,” I quickly sought out new recipes I could try with peppadew peppers. The pepper’s briny spice made sense in pimento cheese or as a sandwich topping. Other than that I was unsure of how to use this new-to-me ingredient. I Googled and found a recipe from Amateur Gourmet that… Continue Reading

A few weeks ago, I received an email from Serious Eats saying that I had won a copy of “The New Southern Table” written by Brys Stephens. (Get your copy here. <Affiliate link) Every single one of the recipes looked amazing, but a recipe for pecan and herb-crusted pork chops immediately called to me. I… Continue Reading

I’m not calling M and my new eating habits a “diet.” We feel better when we eat more fruits and vegetables and we get full much faster. So when it came time to cook the pork tenderloin I had in the fridge, as much as I wanted to rub it down with spices, I instead… Continue Reading

The pork. I think I mentioned previously how M refers to our slow cooker (we have the Ninja 3-in-1 Cooking System) as “the pork maker.” As far as he is concerned, as long as the slow cooker is out, it should be making pulled pork. Sadly, I don’t remember when I first made this recipe.… Continue Reading
